Stage win at Tour
Emotional Jonas Vingegaard bursts into tears
Probably the most emotional stage win of Jonas Vingegaard's career. After his bad crash in April, the Dane was still convinced that cycling was over, but the 27-year-old won the eleventh stage of the Tour de France. Tears flowed at the finish.
"This victory is of course very emotional for me," said Vingegaard after the 200-kilometre stage, in which he came out on top just a few centimetres ahead of overall leader Tadej Pogacar. "It means a lot. I've had to think about all the things I've been through in the last few months. I could never have done it without my family," said the husband and father of a three-year-old daughter. "I'm just happy to be here."
The 2022 and 2023 Tour winner is now one minute and 14 seconds behind Pogacar in third place in the overall standings.
It was uncertain for a long time that Vingegaard would be able to start at all after he crashed heavily at the Tour of the Basque Country on April 4.
